Following the federal elections in Germany yesterday, Germany’s manufacturing sector requires ‘urgent action,’ said Mahle CEO Arnd Franz in a live interview with CNBC, this morning. Here are his key messages:   📌It is important that the new German government will form together quickly and enters into decisive and immediate action based on a long-term vision and clear road map to bring Germany’s and Europe’s economy back on track, German manufacturing sector requires urgent action in terms of taxes, energy costs and flexibility of the labor market   📌For the automotive industry, regulation is a top issue. For defossilisation it is important to use all leverage for 2035: of course battery-electric vehicles, but also clean combustion engines including hybrids. Friedrich Merz must become a strong voice in Brussels where decisions are made.   📌We can use the power of the German manufacturing sector, car industry and suppliers to bring back the European and German armies back to standard so they can play their role in building a strong and self-sufficient defence system in Europe   📌We continue to fight for free trade. Additional tariffs imposed by the US administration will put huge stress on our supply chains and automotive suppliers simply cannot afford not to pass on these additional costs to their customers which will result in higher costs for US consumers. All parties have to come together quickly to develop solutions that support the industry. #MAHLE #WeShapeFutureMobility #FederalElections Carolin Roth CNBC International
